The latest Vatican statistics show the number of baptized Catholics rose from about 1.39 billion in 2022, to 1.406 billion in 2023, to more than 1.422 billion in 2024.
That’s more than 32 million additional Catholics in just two years.
The world is becoming Catholic.
You should, too. ♥️
@DJTrumpistheman@Protestia@howertonjosh 1 Peter 3:21 disagrees, you sound baptist so your 1000s of popes might interpret and teach it according to their own understanding (wrong.)

🚨 The Champs Elysee is completely FULL
This is unbelievable
The people have France have turned out in their hundreds of thousands to see Pope Leo XIV, the atmosphere is electric
@MrHodl That being said, Bitcoin is going to be used massively to pay for compute. I'm positioning for it to be a central method of exchange between machines. Whether the user is aware of the intermediary exchange machines are using to accomplish their goals is still debated.
@MrHodl LLMs can't "want" anything the user doesn't want already, Bitcoin is without a doubt the best version of digital capital to ever exist. With that said, most users are gravitating toward stablecoins/shitcoins. See Mastercard spent over a billion to buy their own.
@disntr@The__Comedian__ One of the dumbest statements I've ever read, honestly, pat yourself in the back. I won't point out the gigantic irony staring at us both in that sentence because I believe you are capable of re-reading it and coming to the realization as to why.
Happy Feast Day of Saint Padre Pio!
